In 2016, only 4% of energy consumption in transportation came from renewables; then, use of fossil fuels will continue by several decades, with their corresponding evaporative and combustion emissions. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from gasoline evaporation were determined in Mexico City in...

The shared bicycles had become an important choice for Beijing citizens to travel "the last kilometer" on a daily basis. By replacing buses and cars, sharing bicycles can reduce urban carbon emissions, and only occupy a small area of parking space, thus improving urban land use efficiency. A...

Nowadays, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has been growing continuously due to the increase of energy consumption, generated from carbon-based fuels and has created global warming. In this study, a model of carbon dioxide capture adsorption in a fluidized bed reactor was...

Clay is a local construction material used in a traditional building, it has many environmental, social and cultural benefits. The present research study focuses on improving the thermophysical properties of clay extracted from Erfoud city in the south-east of Morocco by incorporating natural...

The present study examines the heterogeneity of renewable energy consumption, Carbon dioxide emission and financial development in the global panel of 192 countries. Panel quantile regression has been used for tickling distributional and unobserved individual heterogeneity. The findings indicate...

This paper investigates the effects of electricity consumption and generation on carbon emissions in 25 African countries for the 1980-2016 period. Specifically, it examines the effects of diverse electricity sources (e.g. hydro, oil, natural gas, coal) and renewable electricity output on carbon...

Diesel Powered engines are predominately used in transport and power generators. Due to rapid depletion of fossils fuels like diesel, there is need to find alternate resources for as a fuel for transport and power sector. The use of third generation fuels like algae seems to be a promising...

One of the European Union's (EU) membership conditions includes an ambitious energy policy objective such as energy security, environmental protection and diversification using renewables. However, the impact of the energy policy on environmental sustainability is yet to be assessed. In line...

Biodiesel is one of the renewable fuels which is similar to diesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel has more oxygen than diesel fuel and this leads to better combustion and thereby, decreases PM, CO, and UHC emissions. On the other hand, biodiesel has a higher viscosity and density than diesel fuel which...
